Mass Sabbath has unfinished business.
Why else would the yearly Hallow’s Eve celebration of Black Sabbath return to haunt us in a new ghastly form? That celebration shifts shapes this year for the Mock Star’s Ball, which finds a bunch of great local bands dressing up like and performing as famous bands, some spooky (Teenagers from Mars as The Misfits), others not so much (The Petty Flies as Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, which, come to think of it, might get a little spooky). Sorry, Ozzy fans.
With that same mixture of fear and curiosity that drives all ghost hunters, we sent videographer Gary Canino (whose live videos we have been enjoying at nailgunmedia.com) to catch Saturday night’s main attraction: The highly dangerous space rockers Corsair dress up as their forefathers in that amazing breed of tongue-in-cheek metal, Spinal Tap.

Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
What’re you up to this Halloween?
